Chapter 657: Proposal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Actually, Xiao Juan had a similar worry.

Based on his understanding of Princess Tao Ran, that woman was paranoid and would do anything unscrupulous to get what she wanted.

When she was taken away by Han Chengxi, her heart was filled with hatred. Now that she had power, she might take the opportunity to take revenge. Xiao Juan comforted her softly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here. I won’t let her hurt you and Fubao.”

The convoy successfully arrived at Xingning City.

The Prince Min’s Mansion and the General’s Mansion in the city were still there, but all the valuable items inside had been looted. Now, only an empty shell was left.

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan originally planned to buy a house in the city to live on their own, but this was strongly protested by Tang Guixi.

“I don’t care if you want to move out, but Fubao can’t leave. I want to live with my goddaughter.”

With that, she hugged Little Fubao tightly in her arms and refused to let go.

Seeing how clingy she was, Yu Niaoniao could not help but tease her, “Fubao will grow up too. When she gets married in the future, she’ll still move out.”

Tang Guixi immediately said, “No! Fubao is so cute. No young brat in the world is worthy of her!”

Yu Niaoniao pretended to be surprised. “Then are you planning to let Fu Bao be single for the rest of her life? In the future, when we’re old and no longer around, Fubao will be lonely.”

Tang Guixi looked conflicted.

She couldn’t bear to be separated from Fubao, but she didn’t want her to live alone for the rest of his life.

In her dilemma, she suddenly had an idea and blurted out, “If I give birth to a son and let him marry Fu Bao, Fu Bao won’t have to move out and will have someone to accompany her. It’s the best of both worlds!” Yu Niaoniao could not help but laugh.

“You’re not even married. How can you have a son?”

Tang Guixi snorted. “Don’t underestimate me. Isn’t it just getting married? Just you wait. I’ll get someone to send you a wedding invitation tomorrow.” With that, she put down Fu Bao and ran away.

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan looked at each other, not understanding what Tang Guixi was doing.

After Tang Guixi left the General’s Mansion, she rode to Prince Min’s Mansion. She grabbed Shen Xu’s lapel as soon as she entered and said solemnly.

“Let’s get married!”

Prince Min, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of tea and coughed violently as he held the table.

Shen Xu was dumbfounded.

He looked at Tang Guixi in a daze, wondering if he was dreaming.

Did she actually say she wanted to marry him? Was that true?

Had she drunk too much and was talking drunkenly?

But she didn’t look drunk.

Tang Guixi grabbed him and shook him twice. “Say something! Are you willing or not? Tell me.”

Shen Xu stammered, “This, this is too sudden. I’m not prepared..

Tang Guixi interrupted him. “Are you trying to reject me?”

Shen Xu said, “That’s not what I meant.’

Tang Guixi said, “If you’re unwilling, forget it. I’ll ask someone else.” She let go of Shen Xu and prepared to turn around and leave.

Shen Xu hurriedly grabbed her hand and shouted without thinking.

“I’m willing! I’m especially willing! I’m ten thousand times willing!”

Tang Guixi smiled in satisfaction. “Very good. From now on, you’re my husband.”

Happiness came too suddenly. Shen Xu was in a daze. No matter what Tang Guixi said, he smiled foolishly and nodded.

Prince Min could not stand it anymore and reminded her, “It’s my son’s honor that General Tang likes him. I’ll choose an auspicious day later and personally go to propose marriage. At that time, we’ll discuss the wedding date.” Logically speaking, the parents of both parties should arrange the wedding date.

However, Tang Guixi’s parents were no longer around, and there were no proper elders at home. Tang Guixi could only manage these things herself.

Unexpectedly, Tang Guixi waved her hand. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble! The wedding date is set for tomorrow. I’ll come to your residence to pick him up tomorrow.”

Prince Min thought he had misheard.

Hic in Richali’•f

Tang Guixi said, “I’m just very anxious! The sooner I get married, the sooner I can give birth to a child. Time is tight. I have to be fast!”

Hearing the word “birth”, even the thick-skinned Shen Xu could not help but blush.

He stammered, “M-marriage is a big marriage. You can’t be rash.”

Tang Guixi looked at him seriously. “Do I look rash and sloppy?”

She really wanted to have a child quickly.

Fu Bao was already one month old. Even if she got married now, it would take her at least a year to have a child.

And she could not guarantee that her first child would be a son.

If it wasn’t a son, she would have to give birth again.

All of this would take time!

She could afford to wait, but Fubao could not!

Shen Xu thought that she was unhappy and hurriedly explained, “I don’t mean to criticize you. I just think that marriage is a big deal and needs to be done step by step according to the rules. Only then can I show my respect for you.” Prince Min nodded in agreement. “Yes, yes! Marriage can’t be taken lightly.”

Tang Guixi frowned. “Why are you guys dawdling? Forget it, I’ll find someone else to marry.”

With that, she turned to leave.

Shen Xu grabbed her hand tightly and roared at the top of his lungs, “No! You can’t find anyone else! Isn’t it just getting married tomorrow? I’ll do it!” Prince Min slapped his forehead. It was over!

The Prince’s Mansion had not been tidied up yet. It was a mess everywhere. How could they hold a wedding?

Tang Guixi was satisfied.

“Alright, I’ll pick you up tomorrow. Pack your luggage today.”

Prince Min was puzzled and could not help but ask.

“Guixi, are you mistaken? You’re the woman. Shouldn’t we pick you up from the

General’s Mansion? You should be the one packing your luggage now, right?”

Unexpectedly, Tang Guixi said matter-of-factly, “After Shen Xu and I get married, Shen Xu will move to the General’s Mansion to live with me. If Prince Min feels lonely, he can also move to the General’s Mansion to live with us. Anyway, the General’s Mansion is big enough to accommodate us.”

Prince Min immediately objected.

“No! Aren’t you just asking Xu to live in? I don’t agree!”

No matter how useless his son was, he could not be a live-in son-in-law.

Tang Guixi scratched her head, looking very troubled.

“How troublesome. ”

Prince Min wanted to persuade her to change her mind, but before he could say anything, he saw Tang Guixi sigh helplessly, “There’s nothing I can do about that. I’ll have to get married to someone else. I’m sorry to disturb you.”

With that, she forcefully broke free from Shen Xu’s hand, turned around, and strode out.

Shen Xu was immediately anxious.

He shouted, “Tang Guixi, don’t go! I won’t allow you to find anyone else! I can move to the General’s Mansion to live with you. I’ll listen to you!”

Tang Guixi stopped and looked back at him.

“Really?”

Shen Xu nodded vigorously. “Really!” Prince Min was furious.

He hit his son in disappointment.

“Why did I give birth to a worthless bastard like you!”
